Challenge
Automated insect monitoring depends on how balanced the training data is. Which taxa are over- or under-represented in the AMI annotations, and where were the images collected?
- Where to start
- Work from the annotation/metadata files inside the archive (read them from within the ZIP — don't extract everything). Count records per taxon and per location.
- What to share
- A ranked bar chart of taxa coverage and a comment on the sampling gaps you find.
Share your results and questions in the forum. Challenges are open-ended — there's no single right answer.
